Photos and such

My creative juices were flowing today and di d some picture editing. I have always loved photography and started off with studio work but have taken my talent outside the studio into nature. There are so many more things we can do outside with photography. I love landscapes, the beach, sunsets, children in natural states....its endless and much more fun!
I leave in 3 days to go back to SC and I do miss my home away from home. I have some great family and friends there. I do miss everyone here too though. But the Snow and I just do not get along at all!!
My birthday is saturday and we are having an awesome huge family get together that day at the park. I am excited however, it is calling for rain....UGH!! That will suck. But what can you do??? Can't ask the rain to stop for me right???
The hubby is flying into cleveland tomorrow night. Miss him a ton. Then we will be staying at the Great Wolf Lodge so that we can have some family quality time  to spend together. The girls will love the HUGE water park and arcade there. And of course so will we...haha.We are kids at heart!
Still have not seen my sister....she apparently got so sunburned she blistered last week. I wonder where her sunscreen was....the boys got it bad too....SMH!!!
But maybe she will feel better by saturday and I can see her atleast once this year. Will be a while before I will come back here and she never travels with the boys.
Check out my Pics I posted....let me know what you think! This one is me and my hubby Holding hands..........
Have a great rest of the week you all and cross fingers for no rain sat...atleast from 1 to 6??? LOL:)

My Crazy sister and her son

So I have been on vacay here in Ohio for about 2 weeks and one more to go. I missed my family since I moved to SC. I am away from my hubby and he misses me terribly but will be here on the 28th and will drive us back safe and sound to my home away from home. But I haven't seen my sister yet. She has always been a little crazy. Her son is possessed by a demon for sure (no exaggeration) there is something wrong with him. He was diagnosed at age 5 or 6 (now10) with ADHA and bi-polar. However I think it is something else because no medicines they have ever given him seems to help long term. I know she goes through alot with him but you think she could drive an hour to come see me since I have driven 13 hours with my 3 girls, my 13 year old nephew and my beach blond other crazy sister who proceeds to try to get every trucker on the road to honk at her. But I made it here with a xanax and some caffeine. I told my sister, the one that lives here in Ohio that we are at my aunts and I  have been driving alot lately and it would be nice if you could come see me here where its relaxing and lots of room. She says she has no money for gas because she spent it all fixing her hair that she turned orange. I understand and I would want to fix it to. The thing is, is that she cant leave her hair one color for more than 2 weeks and it will one day fall out!!! I love this girl but honestly I am not sure where her priorities are. I try to help her but I think she is in this alternate universe because she doesn't like the reality of her life. I could write a whole book on this girl. In fact?????hmmmm??? Anyway, I miss her and she hasn't came to not one of the family functions including our little cousins grad party. WTH! I told her I would give her gas money to come here and to be honest you cant take her kids anywhere, especially the one who is possessed. Honestly, my last visit involved him being carried out by my husband because he was making crude remarks to the waitress (remember, he is 10) and swearing like a sailor. It was so embarrassing. I would go to her house but she is the worse housekeeper and last time she wouldn't even let me use her bathroom it was so bad. She doesn't work but the weekends at night (at my aunts bar) so I am not sure why she cant get her butt over here. And something tells me I am going to be the bad guy. Well, Hopefully she can make it to the picnic to celebrate the June birthdays on the 30th. Its basically an annual thing because we have so many June birthdays so we celebrate them all at the end of the month. This year it is actually the day of my birthday and it would be nice to see her. Besides, there are no waitresses at the park so it should be fine.....I hope.

Newbie

Hello,
   My name is Stephanie and I am new to the blogging world. I want to create a website that talks about what else.....life. Something we all have in common. I wear many hats....as most of us mothers do. But I also would love to Blog with step moms as I am new to the Step mom world as well....2 years. So with my 3 and his 3, we are the modified version of the Brady Bunch. :) Life has taken me in so many directions and different paths. I have experienced alot and battled many dark days and came out a survivor. I can certainly relate to many different experiences and I know talking about them can help in a theraputic way and also can help shine light on things you didnt see before because when you talk about things, sometimes you look at it from a different point of view. I only have my life lessons behind me but in my opinion I would rather seek advice or talk about my issues with someone who has been there and understands without judging. I would love to start off with issues like parenting, romance, marriage, friends and yes....even sex. I have been through a divorce, was a widow and now recently re-married.  I am looking forward to my new blogging endeavors. Remember nothing is innapropriate and any topic is up to you. I would love to Blog just for fun too....anything goes. So whats on your mind??
